The 8-year-old girl who dressed up at Ruth Bader Ginsburg for “Superhero Day” at her school received a special letter from the justice herself.

Michele dressed as Ginsburg and her mother posted a picture of her outfit with the caption, “Michele has been reading the heck out of ‘I Dissent” and decided to dress as Ruth Bader Ginsberg, because she fights prejudice and injustice.”

Later the original post was edited to reveal that Michele received a letter from Ginsburg that read, “Dear Michele: You look just like me! May you continue to thrive on reading and learning. Every good wish, Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” as originally posted by the Huffington Post.

According to Michele’s mother, Ginsburg noticed the photo and sought her address to write the personal note.

Michele’s mother said, “I would really [like] to thank Justice Ginsburg for being such an inspiration to all of us, and for being so committed to fighting for equality. This wouldn’t have gone where it has if she weren’t such an admirable person. I also want to thank her for taking the time to make a little girl really, really happy.”

Michele reportedly took the note to class, said Huffington Post, and inspired her fellow students to dress as “real superheroes,” such as entrepreneurs or politicians, for next year.

The family plans to send Ginsburg a thank you note for her message to Michele.
